Mississippi road conditions remain hazardous amid winter weather

Road conditions across northern Mississippi remain hazardous as winter weather persists, according to the latest update from state transportation officials.

Orange routes are passable but have lane blockages due to downed power lines or fallen trees. Authorities continue to recommend emergency travel only in affected areas. Motorists are urged to exercise caution and stay updated on road conditions.
